Rich ministers disregarding the poor – Falana derides Adeboye, others

Human rights legal counselor, Femi Falana (SAN) censured the rate of destitution and joblessness in the nation, regardless of the presence of tycoon Christian leaders.

Falana at the continuous Lagos Book and Arts Festival (LABAF) holding in Freedom Park, Lagos, ripped into Nigerian ministers, blaming them for draining their gatherers.

The lawful illuminator considered how a large portion of them lived in so much wealth yet neglected to offer back to the general public.

He likewise derided General Overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, for saying RCCG will have however many branches as could reasonably be expected.

Falana bludgeoned Adeboye and different priests who want to increment branches, rather than concentrating on different organizations like schools and clinics.

His words: "The vast majority of the wealthiest ministers on the planet are from Nigeria, yet our kin are getting poorer.

On the off chance that a considerable lot of us had not gone to mission schools worked by the Catholics and the Anglicans… however what are we constructing now? What are our houses of worship giving us?

"They are promising to construct places of worship in each road. Every one of the stockrooms in Apapa worked by Awolowo have all moved toward becoming temples and business focuses."

Review that Cardinal Anthony Olubunmi Okogie as of late reprimanded Adeboye's remark, expressing that there is no Godliness in expanding church branches.

"I heard that one of my associates, (Pastor Enoch) Adeboye, said that he would love to assemble houses of worship wherever in order to make it simple for admirers to stroll to them.

"However, for me, that is a pointless proclamation. How might you say you will construct places of worship all over the place? What sort of houses of worship would you say you are discussing?

"Take a gander at movement in Lagos for instance, and the individuals who are ministers are merchants and a decent number of them are businesspeople. Such chapels as a rule are more similar to business houses!

"Take a gander at the quantity of houses of worship jumping up in Lagos. In the event that the Muslims begin building mosques like that, does it demonstrate that Nigeria is a religious nation?"
